  Enjoyed this five-day safari with Bencia Africa Adventure and Safaris. It was a great experience to see the different wild animals in Masai Mara. The natural beauty of Lake Nakuru and the different environment of Hell's Gate make the trip even more interesting. Our guide gave information about the different animals and cooperated throughout the trip. I enjoyed spending time with the other members of the group. This type of safari can be a good option if you want to visit Kenya within a budget.Show more

  Last week, I did a 5-day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Hell's Gate safari with friends through Bencia Africa Adventure. It was my first trip to Africa, so it was a little stressful. But from the beginning everything was so well managed that the tension was completely gone. I left Nairobi in the morning and reached Masai Mara in the afternoon. David is very experienced. He knew exactly when to go where the animal would be found. In the first game drive itself, I saw a whole family of lions, leopards and a huge herd of elephants. Back at the camp in the evening, sitting by the fire and listening to local stories, the food was also great - fresh vegetables, grilled fish and fruit. On the second day, I spent the whole day in Mara and saw four of the Big Five (only the rhinoceros missed). On the third day we went to Lake Nakuru and saw thousands of flamingos and black-and-white rhinoceros. The last day was the highlight of the whole trip - cycling through the Hell's Gate canyon and walking on Crescent Island. There are no fences, giraffes and zebras are walking past us! All the time the car is clean, the driving is safe, the food is on time and the guide is always smiling. The service is much better for the price. Friends have all said - next time I will go to Serengeti in Tanzania, again through this company. Those who want to visit Kenya for the first time can choose Bencia Africa Adventure.Show more

  We participated in the 5-day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Hell's Gate Budget Safari. It was a group tour, so it was a chance to meet other travelers from different places. The whole trip was very well organized. Masai Mara was the main attraction of our trip. During the game drive, we saw lion, elephant, giraffe, zebra and many other wildlife. Our guide was very helpful and tried to answer our questions. He gave enough time while watching wildlife, so he did not feel in a hurry. Lake Nakuru has both scenery and wildlife. Going to Hell's Gate for a walk was also a good experience. This part is quite good for those who do not want to do safari just sitting in the car. It is not a luxury safari, but according to the budget, accommodation, food, transport and game drive everything was satisfactory. If you want to do Kenya safari for the first time and want to keep it within the cost, we recommend this package of Bencia Africa Adventure and Safaris.Show more

  Amazing value for money! Every day offered something unique, from the incredible wildlife in Maasai Mara to the stunning scenery at Lake Naivasha and Hell's Gate. Our driver was friendly, patient, and excellent at spotting animals. The itinerary was well planned, and despite being a budget safari, the service exceeded my expectations. This was one of the best travel experiences I've ever had, and I would gladly book with Bencia Africa Adventure and Safaris again.Show more

  Our 5-day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Hell's Gate Budget Safari was an amazing experience from start to finish. Masai Mara was definitely the highlight of the trip. We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes and many other animals during the game drives. The guide was knowledgeable and worked hard to find wildlife for the group. Lake Nakuru was beautiful, and we enjoyed seeing rhinos and different bird species around the lake. Hell's Gate was also a unique experience where we could get closer to nature while cycling and walking through the park. The accommodation was simple but clean, and the food was good throughout the tour. This safari offers excellent value for money and I would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Kenya.Show more

  This safari offered a great mix of destinations and experiences for the price. Maasai Mara completely stole the show—we saw lions lounging in the grass, elephants crossing right in front of us, and even a cheetah in action. Lake Nakuru was just as memorable with its stunning flamingo-covered shores. Hell’s Gate added a fun twist with cycling and walking, which made the trip feel more interactive. The guide was knowledgeable and kept things engaging throughout. For a budget safari, this experience exceeded my expectations.Show more

  This 5-day safari was perfect. The experience of seeing the Big Five in Masai Mara is unforgettable — especially having lunch to see wildlife near the Mara River! I was fascinated by the thousands of flamingos and rhinos in Lake Nakuru. The walk between biking and roaring at Hell's Gate was the most fun part. The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful, the food was good, the car and accommodation were much better than the budget. Everything is timely and well organized. For those who want an affordable but quality safari, I highly recommend it!Show more
